Through Pinterest, I ran into this recipe for something called 'crack sauce' that my friend from college pinned. Today, I made it to dip green beans in, and although I do not feel though I am addicted to it, it was certainly plenty tasty. I am hoping it will be better tomorrow after it sits a while and the garlic melds in. Also, if I had it to do over again, I would add more smoked paprika. Smoked paprika is basically a special gift from the heavens. I am going to try to invent some sort of grilled cheese sandwich with the crack sauce and some pepper jack and maybe some roasted red peppers. yum!

While wandering around the grocery store, I ran into this stuff. (Also, this picture is really pretty! Thanks random flickr person who marked your picture as OK to use!)

The San Pellegrino orange is super awesome fantastic, and I was making fake chicken with this orange glaze, and I thought "hey, this looks interesting. i'm totally getting this to have with my crack sauce bean/orange glazed chixen dinner". (We also had baked potatoes.)

Do Not Want. It was totally weird tasting. Did not taste like oranges at all. I'm not sure what kind of orange-like citrus fruit a chinotto is, but it is not for me. I asked Jeff to get me some water, since I was not going to drink it. He took a sip, promptly gagged and requested I give him some bleach to gargle with. Apparently my (Italian) friend loves it and does not understand why non-Italian people think it's weird. Your mileage may vary, whether or not you are Italian.

I don't know why I can't rotate this.

Speaking of Italian, I took this picture at the grocery store of a pasta salad kit 'Caesar' flavor.

Why is it "Suddenly" a salad? Is it going to run up behind me when I'm not expecting it? Did I think I was getting a spaghetti dinner and got pasta salad again? Also, wasn't Caesar assassinated? I am not really interested in Caesar suddenly surprising me with some kind of death salad. I'm a little afraid. Anyone know what's in these things? Worth buying? Pasta and a bottle of salad dressing seems like a better deal. Just saying.
